New Yorkers reflect on crime and safety in the city
A pair of migrant thugs who attacked two of New York’s Finest are back on the street after Manhattan prosecutors agreed to cut them loose without bail, The Post has learned.
Brian Joseph, 24, and Jose Gonzalez, 19, were both arrested Sunday after scuffling with cops on traffic patrol on Eighth Avenue shortly after 9:50 p.m. — allegedly biting one officer and hurling a moped at the other, according to law enforcement sources and officials.Police said a cop was bitten and another had a moped hurled at him when they tried to bust two rowdy migrants outside an Eighth Avenue hotel Sunday. The migrants were later cut loose without bail.
When the cop tried to arrest Gonzalez a clash broke out and two others jumped the officers, cops and sources said. The trio bit one cop on the arm and wrist and kicked the moped on top of the other, leaving him with a contusion and scratched cornea. Police are still looking for the third suspect, who allegedly kicked the cops and ran off, the sources said.Gonzalez and Joseph will remain free pending return court appearances in September.
“We don’t comment on bail decisions except to say that in cases like these in New York, Judges have discretion in making bail decisions in accordance with the law and based solely on an individualized assessment of a defendant’s risk of flight,” Al Baker, spokesman for the state Office of Court Administration, said in a statement when asked about the case.
